Game 2

Emptying OutFans were great in exiting Citizens Bank Park so the 300-person cleaning crew could begin getting the placed clean so the gates can open at 6:05 p.m. for the 7:05 game. Ten minutes after the game had ended, crews were in the lower and upper levels working their way up from field level picking up cups, hot dog/hoagie wrappers, pieces of funnel cake, sticky globs of cotton candy, rejected soft pretzels, etc.

Another Roster MoveFollowing the game, the Phillies designated RH reliever Clay Condrey for assignment to make room for LH reliever J. C. Romero. Charlie Manuel now has two lefties in the pen.
